Hi all!
 
I am having a problem with the redhat = installation/upgrade=20 program.  I have downloaded the iso image for redhat 6.2 for an = i386, and=20 copied the files from the image to /home/redhat.
 
Next, I downloaded the rh 6.2 boot disks from the = speakup site=20 and created a boot disk so that I can do an upgrade from the hard=20 disk.
 
I created the boot disk by issuing the following=20 command.
 
dd if=3Ddtlkb.bin of=3D/dev/fd0
 
I reboot from the floppy I created, and the system = starts=20 talking fine, so I know that is not the issue.  After I select the = language=20 and keyboard type, the system wants me to select where the installation = files=20 are.  I select "hard drive", then tell it where the files are by = selecting=20 /dev/hda7 (my /home partition), then I also fill in the "directory = holding=20 redhat" field with "/redhat".
 
The system starts to load the 2nd stage ram disk, = then gives=20 the following messages:
 
error 2 reading header: Success
cpio failed on (null): (internal)
install exited abnormally -- received signal = 11
 
Then all processes are stopped, filesystems are = unmounted and=20 I am told to reboot my system.  What is going on?  Can anyone = help=20 with this?
 
Thanks,
 
William
